Top 9 of strange apps available for the iPhone
The reason that most people have fallen in love with the iPhone is the tremendous amount of apps available. Some allow us to check-in early to our next flight, others help us find a restaurant, and games are always great when we are trying to kill a few minutes if we are waiting somewhere. However, there are also some rather bizarre apps in the App Store. Today, we list a few of them.
iVoodoo
While the effectiveness of Voodoo may be ‘debatable’ for some, there is even less evidence that a virtual voodoo doll is going to do much of anything. However, there is no need to visit the neighborhood witch doctor if you want poke this virtual doll with needless.
Voice Changer
While there may be reasons you would want to change your voice, we have been unable to find a productive one. You can use presets such as Darth Vader, reverse, helium balloon, and even a sex change one.
CIS Fingerprint scanner and spy toolkit
If you have ever wanted to be a forensic analyst, this is the app for you. While it does have some cool sound effects and has many features, we highly doubt that any ‘evidence’ you find is going to be upheld in a court of law anytime soon.
Hello cow!
This app is just a picture of a sad cow staring at you. Once you touch the picture, the cow lets out a loud ‘moo’. While there has to be a market for this app somewhere (there simply has to be) we do not see the appeal unless you are five years old or below and have an affection for cows.
EMF Meter
If you want to see whether ghosts and ghouls are hiding underneath your bed, the EMF meter app might be just what you are looking for. While the readings on the app are highly questionable and we doubt that you are going to get an invite to the Ghostbusters team anytime soon, it is a funny app to scare friends with.
Hold on!
Want to see how long you can possibly hold a button for? Well, you are in luck because there is an app for that. The moment you push down on the button, the meter starts running. Once you let go of the button the application stores the time that you held the button for. The best (or should that be worst) thing is that you can compete with your friends over Bluetooth.
Rimshot and crickets
If your joke that you just cracked did not go over quite as well as you had hoped, this app can save you from that awkward silence. It rather reminds you of those comedy club drummers that added to comedians after each punch line.
iDare
If you have ever seen someone play the daredevil game where they grab a knife and rapidly stab between their open fingers (oftentimes without getting hurt). This is a version of that, only a virtual one. You have to tap your pencil between your open fingers and ensure that you do not harm your virtual fingers.
